The Event

Founded two years ago by Metroid Crime, Lady Arcaders are celebrating the community’s 2 year anniversary with an absolutely leviathan fifty-hour event! The Raid Train departs the station Tuesday the 13th at 10pm EST, traveling nonstop & through the night all the way to Thursday the 15th, ending on the Lady Arcaders Twitch channel with a speedrun of Stardew Valley by Pr1nc3ssShortcake.

Some highlights of the full schedule include:

EikoTheBlue, lead developer of the Ori And The Blind Forest randomizer, will be speedrunning her own creation. We’ll see ceaselessly take on Pokémon Crystal with a sole Diglett, and more randomized speedruns with Demerine running Dragon Warrior Chaos, and BunniestBunRena in randomized Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

We’ll also be seeing several PB attempts, with FawkesRocks running Sonic CD, and Quacksilver on GRIME. And did you know the PAL version of Luigi’s Mansion is mirrored and more challenging? Elite_Spud will be going for a PB, then (time allowing) they’ll show off some blindfolded gameplay.

Here’s a sampler platter of clips, to see the Lady Arcader vibe ahead of the big show:
